Great cottage beautiful location

Loved the birds and the beach being so close. My dog had the best time too.Only issue that my partner had was no coverage to make calls, it was concerning for him as he has an elderly parent.

We had a wonderful short break in Mystery Bay. The house was very comfortable and close to the beach - we were lucky enough to see the humpback whales putting on a show on their way north. Eveleigh checked in on us ( via text) to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. Would definitely stay here again.

Amazing long weekend getaway

We had an exceptional stay at KiaShamwari, and our host Eveleugh was incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout our visit. The housevwas cosy and perfectly situated, just a short walk from beautiful Mystery Bay. It was equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing long weekend getaway. We particularly enjoyed the wood fire and pizza oven, which added a special touch to our stay. Highly recommend KiaShamwari for a memorable holiday experience!

Perfect low key beach holiday

Kia Shamwari is the perfect location for a low key beach holiday. A 3min walk to the beach, or drive a little further for the extensive pristine beaches of the coast. We lived on and loved the verandah! And Eveleigh was a great host - we enjoyed her home grown tomatoes!

A very relaxing stay

Eveleigh’s Kia Shamwari is a delightful home, really pet friendly (fully fenced and even has blocks under the fence so not even noses can get out), and a block up from the beautiful beach of Mystery Bay. We really enjoyed the proximity to the dog friendly beach and sitting on the front verandah for the ocean breezes. Thanks Eveleigh for a wonderful stay, and for all your lovely touches, including stocking the fridge with local Mystery Bay kelp cheese and Tilba milk- we really felt at home!
